Because every minute, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer. And because, breast cancer knows no boundaries- be it age, gender, socio-economic status..

The letter is in recognition of McKenna Insurance Services again qualifying for Mercury’s highest level (Gold) of the Service Excellence program. I have to admit, the first thing I did after reading this was to pinch the signature section of the letter with my thumb and index finger, rub it..

As a young lad, I played soccer every year from the time I was in kindergarten to about 6th grade (when finally, I was able to switch over to flag football at the grade school I attended). Seems like certificates for participating are more the fashion these days, but back in the ’80s, after the season ended there was an awards ceremony — and at those ceremonies they handed out trophies!

“Willing to help take care of anything that comes up.”

Over the years I've had to call to get a question answered or solve a problem with my auto loan company. Both times I've contacted them, they responded promptly and given me the information I needed and/or took care of the problem with the loan company. That's what you want in a provider, someone that's willing to help take care of anything that comes up. That's what they do.
